I'll Stand By You


Hello crafters!  Today's card was started by cutting the Tropical Background out of Khaki card.  While it was still in the die, I inked through it with Forest Moss Distress Oxide ink to give the veins more detail.  Next I used the Double Stitched Squares to cut a chunky white frame and added mounting foam to it and attached it over the background.  I cut two of the Flamingos from the Tickled Pink die set out of raspberry pink card.  I used a black sharpie on their beaks and added the side wings.  I used mounting foam and attached them to the right of the frame opening.  I cut a couple of leaves from the Tropical Flora die set, inked them and glued them in the lower corner.  I cut the I'll Stand By You sentiment in both pink and black and shadowed it then glued it in the opposite corner.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  6 1/4" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Good Morning Sue.
A lovely card almost with the promise of summer. The colour of the Flamingos is so true to life and the background is just perfect for them.
The sentiment is a very thoughtful choice and I'm sure that your followers would always stand by you and each other.
Hugs.

Hi Sue - love these flamingos and I do like the small square background. Also a nice reminder to ink through dies before removing them. Another poignant sentiment too. Sending very best wishes

Good Morning Sue. This is so lovely and elegant. I love the flamingos .... and I can't believe you have posted this the day after I bought a pink flamingo garden ornament yesterday! ! !. And I love the extra wide border which opens up a new level for a bigger card when your main feature is only small... if that makes sense. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds. PLEASE STAY SAFE EVERYONE.

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. What a really stunning card this is, the more I look at it the more I see that I like about it. Love the bright pink against the dark green and I love the relatively small aperture which allows for a wider frame on which to place the focal points of the flamingos and the sentiment, such a great design.

While this card is a bit on the serious side, it makes me smile. I think that’s what it’s supposed to do. Great encouragement card.
